Lyrics & Translation
The plating has worn off
Beyond the thin skin that separates us
Something grotesque is groaning
A dark presence has settled among humans
The day when the dark, murky thing erupts
We, who have always been intimidated by it
Are in the midst of a slow death
Cursing our powerlessness and
Praying for salvation
A song that sounds like a mix of both can be heard
As if swallowing everything
The march of the saints advances
Even forgiving the weak like us
And taking us away
Neither destruction nor salvation
The march of the saints that equalizes everything
Our sorrow, which has been crushed
Please, dispel it for us
Why won't the seeds of our happiness sprout?
How long must we cry and struggle in the dark?
How much must we suffer at the bottom of the darkness?
Standing on top of a mountain of misfortune
The fake ideal, a chilly facade
Peaceful days will never return
Our marching band, which brings about frenzy
熱狂をもたらす僕らのマーチングバンド
From the day we were born
From the day we knew sorrow
We have been worn down
Cursing our powerlessness and
Praying for salvation
A song that sounds like a mix of both can be heard
As if swallowing everything
The march of the saints advances
Even forgiving the weak like us
And taking us away
What awaits us ahead
Whether it's paradise or hell
This parade will continue to advance
Singing songs of anger and sorrow
Trampling the rampaging devil
Until our trembling hearts stop beating
